Interesting list Hacker, of those mentioned I do business with AT&T and Comcast(only game in town) I dropped Levi's after 70yr's and let them know why. The rest I just don't patronize.

Thanks for the list, it's more complete than the list I have been working from.
I too have stopped buying Levi's some time back in addition to many of the companies on the list. I have stopped patronizing a couple of local businesses as well.
I am surprised the NFL is not on the list . . . I have enjoyed football free New Years five years in a row now.
My boycott list is long and some of the businesses are more difficult to ignore than others because they monopolize a specific market but I manage to buy around them.When I boycott a business I alway write them and let them know why.
It would seem to my that businesses would avoid taking a public stand either way in so many areas; my list is driven by far more than just our 2A issue. When you challenge them they seldom have a strong enough belief to write back . . .

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

Yeah, sometimes it's tough not to contribute to the bad guys. Sometimes, it can't be helped. On the other hand, sometimes out guys don't help. Starbucks (not a haunt of mine-Cumby's .99 Farmhouse Blend (black) works for me) took a very reasonable position on carry in their stores, basically saying that they'll follow local law. Then we had the idiots making a point (which I'm not sure they understood) bringing their ARs into stores slung over their shoulders. Starbucks shut down.
BTW, I recently became a fan of Goya products, in effect being part of a buycot !

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
